Surface Chemistry of Surfactants and Polymers
24-28 October 2016 in Lisbon, Portugal

Course Description

This five-day intensive course provides a comprehensive overview of the chemistry related to the behavior of surfactants and polymers in solution and at interfaces. All important aspects of surfactants and water soluble polymers, as well as combinations of the two, are covered during the course. Examples of topics are environmental and health aspects of surfactants, surfactant self-assembly, surfactant and polymer adsorption, mixed surfactant systems and surfactant-polymer systems in solution and at interfaces, polymers in solution, wetting, surface and interfacial tension, rheology, micro-emulsions, emulsions and foams, solid dispersions, colloidal stability, and the use of surfactants as templates for nanomaterials.

Surfactants and polymers are used in a wide range of application areas, including detergents, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food, and coatings. The surface and colloid chemistry that is taught and discussed on the course is to a large extent generic and applicable to many of the aspects of formulation science and technology in these areas. Reference to practical uses of surfactants and water soluble polymers will be made in the lectures. There will also be scheduled time for group discussions.

The course is of interest to scientists, engineers and project managers working in the above-mentioned, or related, areas. The applicants are required to have general academic qualifications in chemistry, but no particular formal education in surface chemistry is required. All lectures and notes will be in English.
The book, Surface Chemistry of Surfactants and Polymers, is included in the course fee.

This course is being offered for the 25th consecutive time and it has been updated continuously. In previous years the course has attracted participants from almost every European country, as well as from the USA, Mexico, Venezuela, Brazil, China and South Korea.

CLINAM 9 / 2016 Conference and Exhibition
European & Global Summit for Cutting-Edge Medicine
June 26 – 29, 2016 • Basel, Switzerland

The Conference at a Glance

In the previous eight years, the CLINAM Summit grew to the largest in its field with 12 presenting Noble Laureates and more than 500 participants from academia, industry, regulatory authorities and policy from over 40 different countries in Europe and worldwide. With this success and broad support by well beyond 20 renowned collaborating initiatives, the CLINAM-Summit is today one of the most important marketplaces for scientific exchange and discussions of regulatory, political and ethical aspects in this field of cutting edge medicine.

In particular, the CLINAM Summit emerged as exquisite forum for translation from bench to bedside, for European and international networking, and for industrial collaboration between companies, with academia, and point-of-contact with customers. The summit is presently the only place to meet the regulatory authorities from all continents to debate the needs of all stakeholders in the field with the legislators.

CLINAM 9/2016 continues with its successful tradition to cover the manifold interdisciplinary fields of Clinical and Targeted Nanomedicine in major and neglected diseases. As special focus area, CLINAM 09/2016 adds translation and enabling technologies, including, for example, cutting-edge molecular profiling, nano-scale analytics, single cell analysis, stem cell technologies, tissue engineering, in and ex vivo systems as well as in vitro substitute systems for efficacy and toxicity testing.

CLINAM 09/2016 covers the entire interdisciplinary spectrum of Nanomedicine and Targeted Medicine from new materials with potential medical applications and enabling technologies over diagnostic and therapeutic translation to clinical applications in infectious, inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases, as well as diabetes, cancer and regenerative medicine to societal implications, strategical issues, and regulatory affairs.
